Breakdown of Our Position

The federal government formula is:

  • Carbon Pricing + Hydrogen + CCUS+ Nuclear = Paris 2030 and beyond. That policy is a Recipe for Failure.

If we are to have any hope of stemming the looming crisis we have to adopt a different policy.

A Climate First Policy is:

  • Fossil Fuel Phase-out + Hard caps + Clean Renewables + Electrification = Paris 2030 and System Change. This policy is a Recipe for Hope.
